Strong governance and compliance
Compliance with all applicable laws and international regulations, along with fair treatment of all stakeholders — including business partners, employees, and competitors — are core principles of our corporate philosophy.
The compliance policies established by the TÜV SÜD Global Compliance Office proactively address potential breaches and risks by increasing employee awareness, educating the workforce, and implementing appropriate processes. TÜV SÜD’s compliance management system forms the organizational foundation for ensuring adherence to applicable laws.
